⚠️ This repository is a mirror of https://sr.ht/~emmabastas/min-terminal/ If you want to open issues here on GitHub that's completely fine, but if you want to make a fork it's best to use the SourceHut repository instead.

min-terminal

This is min-terminal, a little side-project that I started to get more comfortable with C. In the future I hope to use this terminal as my daily driver (I currently use st) and I intend for it to be usable by me with my workflow. This means that, from most perspectives, min-terminal is simultaneously over-engineered and severely lacking in features, but for me it's perfect :-))

That said, if you wanna hack on this I'd be happy to help you with your own fork.

TODOs

These are not in any particular order.

• Use OpenGL instead of Xlib for rendering.
• Show Cursor.
• Resizeable window.
• Limited ligature support.
• Cache rasterized glyphs on the GPU.
• Use something other than stb_truetype.h for rasteriziing glyphs (security issues).
• Pass the vttest suite (except for blinking text, I don't care about that).
• Pass the esctest suite.
• Some sort of dialog for when errors and unknown escape sequences occur.
• Vim-style keybindings built-in.
• Copy-paste.
• Scrollback buffer.
• No "still reachable" memory leaks.
